Jeremy - it sounds like you're doing the right thing... merge the font(s), then
select it with gfx2 or display 1b3a.  The broadway I have is C8 08, tho. Is the
window a gfx type window?

Offhand, hmmm. If you get garbage it may be because you had merged another font
on top of (the same group/bfn) one already in use.  When you select a font,
grfdrv stores a pointer to where it is in memory. Merging another with the same
group, or killing off that buffer and loading another, could change the data
without grfdrv being aware.  Does that make sense?  Kinda like switching disks
and confusing RBF as to the current directory spot.

So. Start from scratch, merge the fonts you want to try out, then open a gfx
window and try the font change again.  Should work okay.  Also, do you have the
"dump" command or "ded"?  You can look at the first few bytes of a font file to
see what the group/buffer is (altho you may know that).
